Murray 629104X89D Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Murray 629104X89D is a gas-powered, two-stage snow thrower known for its reliable performance in residential snow removal applications. Often manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this model typically features a 26-inch clearing width, making it a popular choice for homeowners dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall. Its two-stage design allows it to handle a variety of snow conditions effectively.
The Murray 629104X89D snow thrower was a popular model, particularly during the late 1990s and early 2000s, aimed at residential users needing a capable machine for moderate to heavy snowfall. It's typically powered by a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh engine, usually ranging from 5 to 8 HP. Electric start was often an available option for added convenience. As a two-stage snow thrower, the 629104X89D utilizes an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw the snow away from the clearing path. The clearing width is generally 26 inches, with an intake height around 20-21 inches, allowing it to tackle deeper drifts. Throwing distance can reach up to 30 feet, depending on the snow consistency and engine power. The drive system is typically wheel-driven, offering multiple forward speeds and reverse, allowing for better maneuverability. Chute controls are usually manual, requiring the operator to physically adjust the direction of the snow discharge. Some models included a headlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions. While heated grips were not standard, this model was valued for its affordability and robustness. Ideal for use on driveways and walkways with moderate to heavy snow accumulation, but may struggle with very icy or compacted snow.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for any signs of damage or wear. Replace worn paddles or blades to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. These protect the auger gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a hard object. Always use the correct shear pin type.
- Inspect belt tension and replace worn belts to ensure proper power transfer from the engine to the auger and drive system. Slipping belts reduce throwing distance and overall efficiency.
- Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues. Drain the fuel tank completely or add stabilizer to prevent gumming.
